Shapers Club House hosts company meetings, training sessions, general assemblies, team-building days, residential seminars and evening events for 5 to 200 people. Spaces are booked by the half day, day or evening. The venue is the Shapers Club surfboard workshop in Marennes, Charente-Maritime, a 1,800 m² site that also runs a surf shop, a bar, a coworking space and workshop tours.
Seminars and company events
The team handles an event from start to finish: running order, furniture, sound and lighting, catering or kitchen access, and entertainment such as a DJ, talks, team building or screenings. Four formats are listed. A meeting package covers a half day or a day in an equipped room. A team-building day for 10 to 60 people combines surf, skate, paddle, cycling, yoga, bootcamp or hiking with a guided workshop tour and a shaping demonstration, followed by a lunch of local produce. An evening format turns the bar lounge into a reception space for up to 100, with a bartender, decoration and a cocktail dinner. A residential seminar for 10 to 50 adds full board and rooms in a partner hotel by the sea.
Associations have a dedicated package with reduced rates and kitchen access for a homemade buffet.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room sits inside the workshop. It is air-conditioned and bright, with audiovisual equipment and Wi-Fi, and can be set in U-shape, theater, islands or classroom layout. Its space page gives 20 seated, while the meeting package mentions up to 60. The modular hall covers about 100 m², with a floor suited to sports, sound, ambient lighting and direct access to the terrace; it takes 100 standing or 50 seated. The bar lounge, in wood and metal, has a working bar and takes up to 199 standing for cocktails and afterworks. The outdoor terrace covers 150 m², seats 60, has outdoor sound and can be covered in case of rain. A quiet coworking area with collaborative tables and daylight serves for breakout sessions.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant for events. The team works with local caterers for cocktail dinners and seminar meals, centered on Charente produce and seafood. The bar serves drinks, and kitchen access can be arranged.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. For residential seminars, the team books a partner hotel on the coast and coordinates the stay.
History and setting
Shapers Club makes custom surfboards by hand in its Marennes workshop. Shapers from Australia, California, Hawaii, Japan and Europe come for residencies, and the workshop sells boards by these guest shapers. It holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant and Maître Artisan labels. In 2026 it opened La Cave, a store of 69 hand-shaped blanks by guest shapers. The site faces the oyster beds of the Marennes basin.
Getting there
Marennes lies on the Atlantic coast of Charente-Maritime. The workshop is about 15 minutes from La Tremblade and 35 minutes from Royan, and it is within reach of Oléron, Rochefort, Saintes and La Rochelle.
